- Abstract
- Since Algerian internet usage has continuously grown to the point at which China became the primary supplier of Algeria in 2013, there is evidence that Algerian companies trade via e-marketplaces to import from China. This study demonstrates how internet usage and importation from China grew from 2000 to 2014, and its impact on the development of Sino-Algerian business relationships. For this study, 250 Algerian companies were reviewed to evaluate their trade practices with Chinese companies via the e-marketplace. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent of e-marketplace usage when trading with Chinese companies, by examining the basic pre-purchase and after-purchase activities of the Algerian import companies, and to examine the impact of these transactions on Sino-Algerian business relationships. This research identifies the reasons behind the partial use of the e-marketplace when trading with Chinese companies, and the obstacles faced by Algerian import companies.
